Chapter 449 - 445: Appreciation Banquet
Returning to his room and resting for a while, Ling Chen received a notice: the competition for newcomers would continue in two days. Despite a crisis arising, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had no intention of ceasing the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony.
In addition, Ling Chen got an unexpected piece of news: he had been directly promoted, avoiding the match with Lin Dong.
Upon inquiry, he learned that Lin Dong, his opponent, had developed complications due to an infectious disease, leading to health issues. Although the virus had been cleared, his body had not yet recovered and required a period of rest. Therefore, he unilaterally gave up his qualification.
Regardless, this was an unexpected joy for Ling Chen. Not only was he spared a fight, but he also smoothly advanced and got the opportunity to compete with the top five newcomers.
Upon hearing this news, Qiu Yong and the others were very happy.
"Ling Cheng, with two days left, you should take good care of your body. The top five on the Newcomer List are nothing like your previous opponents; they are all true masters, so you must be cautious," Zhang Zhongfeng advised.
"Zhang Zhongfeng, I know."
...
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
The next afternoon, in his room, Ling Chen sat on the couch with his legs crossed, casually chatting with Hu Fei.
